*I SIMPLY CAN NOT LIVE WITHOUT MY MR. COFFEE MAKER. I GAVE A FRIEND $10 FER GAS LAST WEEK TO GO TO WALMART AND GET ME A NEW ONE WHEN MY OLD ONE STOPPED WORKING. I RUN MY COFFEE MAKERS 24/7 EVER SINCE I STOPPED DRINKING 3 YEARS AGO, I'VE BEEN SOBER THE LONGEST I'VE EVER BEEN, SINCE MY LATE TEENS I'M 70 YEARS OLD NOW*
Helped an old friend clean up a shed that belonged to an old neighbourhood home she had just bought. She kindly gave me a mid-1930s era light hand-held vacum cleaner. It still works perfectly after 90 years and the 'enviromently friendly' bag collector is easy to empty. Doesn't cost much to operate. Times and genuine quality have changed as our own manufactures change and evolve/devolve.
I had a 1960's Electrolux vac when I got my first apartment in the 90's. I eventually sold it about 10-years later for a smaller new vac only because I got tired of dragging a canister, hose and 'beater brush' around. It was functionally perfect though, never broke once.
@@chrisneumann4202 Not made in China from where everything made breaks quickly and leaves you feeling you paid rent rather than bought their stuff. Made our own and it was quality. The one I have is ca 16 inches long and a durable bag, easy to clean. Weights about ca 2 lbs and a long twined wires cord plug.
I still use an old Revereware stovetop percolator for my morning coffee on the weekends. Makes awesome coffee. Over 100 years and we still don't have a toaster that gives consistent results....
Thank you for doing all the research to bring us the History of how so many of our Home appliances got t heir start and who Invented them. We Americans take for granted all the technology and tools we use to make Life so much more efficient and Labor saving.
My folks--I'm 68--had quite a number of Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians' recordings. Grew up listening to them. Had no idea of the connection with the blendor until now!
The best thing about mod cons is that you no longer have to deal with servants. The correspondence of Virginia Woolf and her sister, Vanessa Bell, is largely taken up with problems with the staff and since they were both career women and both introverts, this caused a lot of stress. My dishwasher never gives me lip, and for that I’m grateful.
Not as old as this one, but when I was a kid mom had my grandparents' old electric agitator washer with a ringer roller. It was open on top so you could adjust the clothes in there if you needed.
@@cathypigart9060 Hmm, that is not what I was thinking, since it isn't considered at all controversial. All of these gave women, 99% of whom worked in the home, more free time, allowing them to notice they were isolated and lonely and therefore...another 'ism' got started.
@@simonestreeter1518I thought this was all due to the industrial revolution? Which allowed for mass production which again allowed for more opportunities for more workers, and slowly, women then wanted to vote the right to work. All these inventions were just coexisting during this time.
@@epinedo Yes of course it started with the Industrial Revolution. That doesn't contradict what I then said. The machines that were made then gave women more free time, and they started to want to do more with it, hence 'feminism.'
What home appliance can you not live without?

AI narration isn't horrible but when the narrator can't pronounce Chicago it is quite jarring. Perk You Later AI dude.
I keep cringing at the word "Warrrring". Where- ing, AI.
Wait, this is AI? I actually hadn’t noticed 😅

+1 on the toaster! Ones for home use are all junk, and commercial ones are $400.
The hover was our vacuum cleaner for my grandparents & my parents. They always referred to it as "the hoover" and would tell us to "hoover the rugs.
0:50 My wife's Egyptian family call vacuuming "Hoover-ing" and that's how Hoover became the nickname for our family dog 🤣
I love perc-you-lators! 😂
"Perculator" = percolator with a built-in calculator!
they could have called the Mr coffee drip machines that, since they had a built in timer. IE: Perk-u- Later. 😆

My wife has collected several jadite bowl Mixmasters as part of her jadite collection. They all still work !
Waring- rhymes with bearing and caring.
Also note that Fred Waring was a popular musician.
He spelled the name of his blender as “Blendor”.
My folks--I'm 68--had quite a number of Fred Waring and His Pennsylvanians' recordings. Grew up listening to them. Had no idea of the connection with the blendor until now!
Okay so some people don’t have to be maids and janitors anymore there’s always a job in fast food……
My Kitchenaid stand mixer. And that Mixmaster didn't beat it to market by much.
$495…FOR A MICROWAVE…IN 1967
I hear alot about Al. What does that mean. Sorry I'm old.😊
A-I means Artificial Intelligence. I’m old too. 😊
Don’t apologize for being old! I love being a boomer!❤
Kelvinator still makes products but they’re very expensive
Hoover all the way to an iRobot 😎
You caught that too. Your comment was first. Weird because this AI seems real. It was bad at Victrola too.
Microwave !
What about the dishwasher?

You’re not lying about the Robeson county North Carolina thing!!!!
Mainly used in USA not UK.
Percyoulater?? Inventing new words.Waring is also mispronounced.
I bought a stand mixer which is nice
I see you didn't have the nerve to say what, exactly, these appliances started.
Consumerism?

@@simonestreeter1518 right. But what's your point?
Philishave.
Yes, but sadly, these appliances destroyed the income for many people with a limited education and few opportunities for employment.
